[Google Wave APIs] Re: How to walk a blip hierarchy

2009-10-12 Thread F. Andy Seidl

Jeremy: I'm coming to the same conslusion--the API does not allow
traversing the blip hierarchy.  Just to be clear, though, when you
suggest "storing every blip submitted" do you mean storing blip IDs or
actually storing a copy of the blip data of every blip?

What's I'd really like to be able to do is to located a specific blip
within a wave and automatically update it. If a robot has a
"reference" blip (that does not have the actual blip content), can the
API update that blip (i.e., give it new content)? If so, I could have
the robot store the blip reference and its content outside the wave.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: How to walk a blip hierarchy

2009-10-10 Thread Jeremy

I tried to do this for a while and came to the conclusion that as of
now, the API does not supply a way to traverse the whole blip
hierarchy. The best thing I cam eup with was just storing the every
blip submitted. That way you at least have access to all the blips
submitted after the robot has joined the wave.

Hope that helps,
-Jeremy
